\nFor systems which should never attempt any type of suspension, these targets can be disabled at the systemd level with the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target<\/pre>\n\n\n\nTo re-enable hibernate and suspend use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl unmask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target<\/pre>\n\n\n\nA modern alternative<\/strong> approach for disabling suspend and hibernation is to create \/etc\/systemd\/sleep.conf.d\/nosuspend.conf as<\/p>\n\n\n\n[Sleep]\nAllowSuspend=no\nAllowHibernation=no\nAllowSuspendThenHibernate=no\nAllowHybridSleep=no<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThe above technique works on Debian 10 Buster and newer. See systemd-sleep.conf(5) for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you just want to prevent suspending when the lid is closed you can set the following options in \/etc\/systemd\/logind.conf:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[Login]\nHandleLidSwitch=ignore\nHandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore<\/pre>\n\n\n\nThen run systemctl restart systemd-logind.service or reboot.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Recently I’ve been logged into a laptop remotely a lot. Logging out from “main” session makes my Gnome on Debian 12 go to suspend after a while.
